Booking Uni accommodation without parents knowing

My parents won’t let me move out to an accommodation but I really want to, so I’m planning to book one as soon as I’m able to but I’m a bit worried about them finding out. Would they send letters home about it? And if so, would I need to change the address?
Please let me know if there are OTHER ways they could also find out because I really don’t want to risk getting caught as this is my only shot to actually moving out and living my life how I want to.
Thanks

Unless your parents are in the habit of opening your mail just don't tell them if the are in the hobbit of doing that get your post from the university care of a mate so the dress would read

Your Name
C/o Mates Name
Their address.
Then your mate can give you the mail in town or something.

On the front of packing you'll need to be a bit sneaky get big hold all and slowly pack clothes with out your parents knowledge then on saturday pack uni bag with your lap top and the like then at night chargers and stuff. Get the earliest train possible on Sunday morning to your uni city go straight to the halls once your there they might let you check in straight away (if your rooms ready) or at least leave your bags with them until you can check in go and buy bed clothes shower gel toothpaste tooth brush mouth wash pots and pans and anything you couldn't take without arising your parents suspicion and your in job done

You will get letters addressed to you from the uni regarding your accommodation so unless they open your mail, your parents will not find out. How do you plan to pay for the accommodation? Will you not need your parent's help?

Best to use a mailbox address or ask a trustworthy friend who knows your situation.
For ucas, the uni and student finance.
Don't take any risks with your physical safety or access to accomodation while you are a school student dependent upon family for basics like accomodation & food.

I understand some of how you are feeling.
I grew up in a toxic & controlling household, surrounded by unreasonable people who constantly imposed their bizarre rules upon me.
Worked and saved up for years throughout my school life so that I could afford to move away to uni accomodation.
Things did not go precisely as I had planned but I did escape before a levels were over nearly 9 years ago and will never go back.
Good luck!

Can you not compromise with them about it? It's just because you don't want to lose your family. If you do go it's probably best if they do find out tbh since they don't know they are just going to have a shock when you've just disappeared

Thank you for the tips!!! Yeah they do open my letters. It’s definitely not something I’m gonna risk. So where would I need to change my address? On UCAS? Should I email the university and let them know of my change of address too?

just make sure that you don't opt for accommodation that requires a guarantor to sign up.

I can totally relate. It really sucks that I have to go. It’s probably gonna be the most difficult thing I do but they are too strict and I’ll literally have no social life if I stay. I mean I’m literally 18 years old and I can’t stay out with friends past 3pm.
Where would I need to update my address information? I know it’ll be on UCAS, Student finance and where else? I really cannot risk them finding out at all. Also any advice on how to deal with this emotionally will be really appreciated😊

You'll also need to update your address with your bank and the dvla if you have a driver's licence.
If you receive bank statements by post, switch your bank account to paper free statements that you access through online banking and keep your login info very private in case members of your household try to obtain access to your accounts.

Have you checked whether you will be eligible for any uni bursaries or grants?
Did your parents go to uni or study at a further education college?
Do they have a positive attitude about property ownership?
Or young people with ambitions to develop some secondary income sources from their investments and sideline businesses?
If so, there may be a chance of persuading them to give their financial info to student finance to help you save up towards a property deposit for a mortgage or

Always trust your gut instinct and listen to what your common sense is telling you.
Remember that life is too short to waste valuable time and emotion on those that don't deserve any.
Focus on maintaining a positive mindset, working towards achieving your future ambitions and developing effective coping mechanisms.
Have a strong support network that is completely independent of your relatives, their friends and all business associates.
Put your health, self-esteem and physical safety first.

just make sure that you don't opt for accommodation that requires a guarantor to sign up.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate the advice.
It’s not gonna be easy but I’ve got a good support system to help me through it.
People were saying that I’d need to have a “guarantor“, does this mean that it has to be a family member? I have friends who are willing to do that for me. I’m a bit worried as my universities accommodations will be opening soon and I want to be prepared for it.

There's no need to worry.
Your guarantor does not have to be a family member.
Usually any adult uk resident citizen with a reasonably good credit rating is fine.
Good luck!
